What are some of the first warning signs that something may be amiss?
Although it doesn’t impact all children the same way, you may become concerned if your child was slightly later in acquiring major milestones (e.g., the age of standing, walking, running, riding a bicycle). Research has shown that many of these children also have a history of speech difficulties or delays (e.g., poor oral motor control – also a motor skill), and something that frustrates parents is that many of them have toileting problems (e.g., going to the bathroom involves sequential and controlled muscle action of the bladder and bowel).
